Honorary Pages

Annabel and Thane had a wonderful opportunity to be honorary pages at the State House in Augusta last week.  Sponsored by our local representative Will Tuell, who we adore, the kids paged in the House of Representative Chamber during one of its morning sessions.  After a warm welcome (see the photo above), Annabel & Thane were constantly busy for over 2 hours running messages and bills back and forth between representatives and staff. 
In between their duties, the kids watched proposed bills get debated and passed.  My dear friend Heidi, who is a state representative from a district in southern Maine, even walked us through submitting a bill from start to finish.
It was an incredible experience, and we are so grateful for everyone who helped to make it happen!
